    Bi-wiring And Cross-overs?

    When you're in the middle of a run the strangest thoughts can just pop into your head:

    With a three-way speaker, ie: one with tweeter, mid-range and bass units, you have cross-overs between each. When these speakers are bi-wireable, ie: two sets of speaker terminals on each speaker, which cross-over is bypassed? The one between the tweeter and mid-range or the one between the mid-range and the bass? Or am I over simplifying?

    It's doubtful any of the filters are bypassed (it's sound bad).

    My guess is that if you only have 2 sets of inputs for a terminal cup of a 3-way speaker, then 1 set of inputs is connected to the filter for the woofer, and the other set of inputs is connected to an input parallel-connected to the filters of the midrange and tweeter.

    The woofers soak up the most power in a speaker.
